That was luxurious. Mine only had 80. Of course, you could punch column

I hadn't thought about punch cards in years. I'm sure I still have a bundle of them packed away with other college relics that were packed up and never unpacked. I always looked forward to trekking across campus to the data processing room because most of the students were fee-males.
